- A RUSHED game based off JUST the book with EA's The Two Towers on the horizon? WHAT could go wrong!?!?
Here's my review of the acid trip that is The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings PS2 game! Also released for Xbox and PC, this version is in a league of its own...
Thank you very much to @JokerAlex 21 for helping with all the info on the background and development of the game!! ❤️❤️❤️ Go and check out his video gaming channel (with a lot of Harry Potter and CoD Zombies content!), and we also have a Harry Potter-themed collab coming soon, keep your eyes peeled for that ;)
I've also done a review of EA's The Return of The King! • Return Of The King Gam...

Had the PC version. I could never get past the black riders in hobbiton. Great to finally see what happened next!
Same bro
It is very easy to sneak past them. Sorry you had so much trouble with them.
I will never unhear “Gay Icon Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.” Utterly brilliant.
Almost every voice actor in this game went on to way bigger and better things. I have to wonder if they even remember voicing in it.
They do. I paid for and facilitated a private function which brought together four of the voice over actors from this video game. I questioned them at considerable length. It's all in aid of a PhD which I'm producing around this adaptation. It may even, after some editing, be worthy of publication as an article of general non-fiction; so fascinating are the stories, so varied the experiences. It will be THE final word in books surrounding the topic of video games - the absolute final word.
The Shire was my favorite part of this game; I would play a whole game based on day to day hobbit life.
How is your channel solely the games I played as a kid? I'm pretty sure we even gave up at the same point lol.
we're actually the same person👀👀👀
Wow, lot of work put into this review! Especially appreciate the music showcase, sounds proper magical, I'm gonna go look up the OST now)
I actually remember playing a 2003 PC game called The Hobbit, thought this was it at first. Got fond (though few) memories of playing that one, never finished though. Might go back and play to completion, cause judging by the YT footage it actually might hold up, looks like a rather fun 3D adventure/exploration/platformer thingy.
I think the Hobbit is by the same/a related team, I might play it at some point, apparently it's a bit better lol
Watching you play this live was heaps of fun!! It's cool seeing the review come out fond memories fill my head
Thanks for watching 😁😁♥️
I could never figure out how to avoid the black riders. Gave up at that point
i don't blame you :o
Why is the ring even a gameplay mechanic at all? Didn't Gandalf specifically tell Frodo to never wear the ring because as soon as he put it on the Ringwraiths would know where he was and be on his ass instantly?
The best part of this game is everything up to the Nazgul showing up. The Hobbit game is a whole lot better, funnily enough, if you ever give it a try.
oh wow it's ANOTHER case of "different console, different game"
I actually would try the Hobbit out, I might do Two Towers first but let's see!
@@PhilOfGlimmer I would definitely say that the Vivendi Hobbit game is a lot stronger than their Fellowship game, at least the PC/PS2 version of Fellowhship
I played on the Gamecube version of the Hobbit as a kid, and I believe there are differences between that and the other versions; lighting and models being one.
8:31 OMG, is that a me reference? :uglyron: Love the video!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP!!!
great video, can't wait for the next review :)
Thanks for doing this video. I always wondered what the PS2 version of this game was like (I had Two Towers and RotK for both the GBA and the PS2, but I never bothered picking up the PS2 version of FotR because the GBA version was so bad).
In the GBA version, I remember there was a glitch in Moria where the game would freeze permanently when you walk through a particular doorway, preventing all further progress. Which is actually kind of perfect because the Two Towers game (which was developed by EA, an actual game company, and therefore wasn't filled with game breaking glitches) started at Moria anyway.
MORE Harry Potter? LETS GOOOO
We had the PC version growing up and had no idea our somewhat newly acquired Xbox disc has all sorts of additions. I remember the official game guide had some different visuals that were eventually cut completely, but that's it.
Dude we've played all the same games as kids it seems...
This one scared me back in the day!
Thank you for another great video, Phil! Time flies when watching them, and yet they're so packed with interesting information. Awesome you had some help for this one. Learned a lot about the game. Looking forward to more from you, as usual!
Thanks for watching it means a lot 😁😁♥️
So this game is objectively pretty terrible. But it's amazing what nostalgia can do for a game. This was the first game I ever had on PC. I remember getting our home computer, and excitedly marching my mother down to WHSmith to get some PC games. I chose Chamber of Secrets, and this game. Unfortunately, this was back in the day where the boxes were displayed on the shelves, and it was up to the store assistant to go into the stockroom and make sure they found the right game for the box.
I remember excitedly reading the PC manual for Chamber of Secrets on the way home, getting all giddy about the sorts of things I'd soon be getting up to at Hogwarts. But when we got home and I'd waited the two hours or whatever it took back then to install the game on PC, I discovered that the store assistant had accidentally given me, not Chamber of Secrets the PC game, but Chamber of Secrets LEGO Creator - possibly the most asinine and awful game to ever have been coded into existence.
So I was left with this game, Fellowship of the Ring. And next to LEGO Creator, back in 2003, this was a thing of absolute beauty. Even although I've played it since and get that it has severe limitations, I'd probably still rate it among my favourite gaming experiences, purely because it took me away from the horrifying disappointment of expecting Chamber of Secrets on PC, and getting some awful LEGO Creator for 3 year olds.
I love this story!
Great video as always!
thanks ron weaselby
Glad to hear the Shrek 2 PC bit
I sure remember this game, boy did it suck!
U should check out the series of unfortunate events pc game I think you would have fun with it
I Love this game
-"Can you hear that?"
-"No"
Also, the Hobbit game? Has on of the best original soundtracks you can find for a Lord of the Rings related media
And the forest in the book is as confusing as it is in the game. but the singing in this game for Tom Bombadil is awful, bfme2 Tom Bombadil was better
Play GBA Fellowship. A true masterpiece.

"Actually."
Thank you for having me on as a part of this video man!! It was a great video to be involved in. If PC players want to get the game running on modern day PCs properly then follow my guide here: th-cam.com/video/49icc2wff08/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JokerAlex21
Thanks for helping!
I’ve been to hobbiton and the green dragon many times. I highly recommend it!
I legit loved this game
Your commenting is absolute gold 😂
You are so funny wth why dont you have more followersss >:c
I really liked this game. (Only played on PC)
It's the Fellowship of the Ring story so the story is good. I like the save file system (which is what Elder Scrolls uses) the graphics are dated but I didn't mind it. Was terrified by the ring wraths.
You should've looked up the story behind this game before making the video. This game was thrown together in 1 year, exclusively for Xbox and ported to PS2. Vivendi had the rights to make LotR games based on the book and were approached and offered the rights to make a LotR game based on the films which they turned down. Then PJ's The Fellowship of the Ring went on to be a huge success and EA already had the rights. EA didn't make a game based on the first film, opting to wait and see if it was a success which is why EA's game and Vivendi's games came out around the same date - just before the second film.
Can you do a youtube video on The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings on Gameboy Advance.
To Phil Of Glimmer I have actually played The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings on PS2 and I actually enjoyed it. I was sad it ended on a cliffhanger and we never got to see The Two Towers storyline or Return of the King. I wanted to see the Scouring of the Shire which we still never got to see in any Lord of the Rings video games.
Anyways there's one Lord of the Rings game I dislike so much and that's The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings on Gameboy Advance. That was the worst crummy Gameboy Advance game of all time, it looks like a rushed beta game even way worse than Superman 64, Bubsy 3D. The game design was awful, the fixed encounter turned based system was almost impossible to beat enemies since you often missed. The character is slow. The items are buggy in Rivendell, you get lost too easily, there's too much fetch quests to deal with. The worst part about the game is the game breaking glitch with the Mines of Moria freezing when you try to enter another room, you can do a work around, I finished the game and it ended on a cliffhanger.
I also played J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I on SNES and it was okay but the fetch quests weren't fun and it was boring wandering around the caves and was very tedious especially the Mines of Moria level and it ended on a cliffhanger. I wouldn't mind doing a rom hack on that SNES game and call it J.R.R. Tolkien's The Scouring of the Shire.
Anyways please do a game review on The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings on Gameboy Advance because I think it's the worst Lord of the Rings game of all time.
How is it that i never heard about this before?
You should have kept it that way 🙂
and I always wondered why was the opening of this game not similar to the movie where we see the three else and the seven dwarves and the nine men who all got their rings and show the fight at the slopes of Mount Doom between Isildur and Sauron and their armies and how Isildur cute the Ring from Sauron hand and how he took it as his own then got killed by Sauron forces and lost the ring in the river and how Gollum found it when he was handsome young Smeagol or show Gandalf arriving at the Shire Earlier to attend Bilbo Birthday and show Bilbo putting on the Ring in the middle of his party??
and I thought The Shre looked very good I just hope that the upcoming Lord Of The Rings Game about Gollum's point of view will look ten times better than this.
You're funny
Pewdiepie has a review channel
The GBA version is unbelievable terrible. Basically everything it does is done in the worst possible way. It's probably the worst game I ever finished*
*By finished I mean got to the mission critical door in Moria that causes the game to hard crash every time you walk through it.
No it is not. Its still better then the Gollum game we got last year.
That's 100% true aha, that game looked so bad
@@PhilOfGlimmer Hell I could still not finish that Gollum game. That jumping mechanics is just all over the place. Also something els but about that Kong game from last year i still wonder why they never remade Peter Jackson's King Kong. It is coming on to 20 years next year. Now that is still one of the best movie games ever made. I still have it on my 360.we did not neet that Kong from last year. Hell that feels more like a little Ape then Kong.
PS2 version bad, Xbox version go- ... better.
Xbox version the best game of all time???
@@PhilOfGlimmer Only if you have the nostalgia glasses that came with it on release. 😎
Don’t make fun of Sams teeth, you don’t necessarily have the best looking set of teeth yourself
